Individual police officers have enormous discretion and there will be differences in what they decide to do. That has led to accusations that some are being overzealous.A police officer can order a non-essential business to close while coronavirus regulations are in place.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:"People will only be allowed to leave their home for... one form of exercise a day".
